          stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, for the              
          reason set forth in the objection to the specification.                     
          Claims 1, 5, 6, 9, 11,                                                      
          12 through 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being

          9, 11, 12 through 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                
          being unpatentable over Takagi in view of Toriumi.  Claim 3                 
          stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable                 
          over Takagi in view of Tanimoto.  Claim 4 stands rejected                   
          under 35 U.S.C.                                                             
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Takagi in view of Kizu.
